If you’ve ever thought that you may not have enough life insurance, you’re not alone. According to the 2025 Insurance Barometer Study Report, 25 million Americans feel that they are underinsured, while 74 million Americans don’t have any life insurance at all.

So, what stops us from getting the coverage we know we need? Cost, or more accurately, perceived cost. Historically, nearly three-quarters of Americans overestimate the cost of a basic term life insurance policy. It’s worth noting that respondents, 35 and under, who said they were healthy overestimated the price of life insurance 7-10x the actual cost.

The truth is the right life insurance for your needs might be more affordable than you think. Learn more about life insurance and what options are available to you at countryfinancial.com/life.

Planning some fun at home this summer? Make sure your backyard is safe for all your favorite activities by using this summer safety checklist.

Pool safety
⁃ Never leave children unattended
⁃ Kids should never be alone in or near a pool (even if they know how to swim).
⁃ Teach children to swim
⁃ Sign your kids up for swimming lessons if you haven’t
⁃ Learn emergency skills
⁃ Young children should learn when to get help. Older children and adults should learn CPR and first aid.
⁃ Buy pool safety equipment
⁃ Keep a first-aid kit, ring buoys and reaching poles nearby. Easy access to these items could be lifesaving.
⁃ Install a safety fence
⁃ Make sure your pool safety fence covers all pool sides and has self-closing gates. Also, install locks and alarms on doors with pool access.
⁃ Keep everyone in the know. Create and post safety rules and enforce them.

Trampoline safety
⁃ Add safety features
⁃ Make sure your trampoline has padding and netting. An enclosed trampoline can help prevent falls.
⁃ Maintain your trampoline. Inspect your trampoline regularly for missing pads, tears, exposed springs and other issues that could cause injury.
⁃ Enforce safety rules. Only one jumper at a time to reduce risk of injury.

Playground safety
⁃ Inspect your playground equipment regularly
⁃ Look out for protruding bolts, open hooks, broken ropes or rusted chains that could cause injuries. Replace equipment as needed.
⁃ Create a safe landing
⁃ Invest in soft-landing material like rubber tire chips or mulch to reduce or prevent injuries.
⁃ Teach playground rules
Having kids follow simple rules can contribute to playground safety and help avoid injuries.
⁃ Supervise young children at play
⁃ Keep a close eye on kids to reduce injuries and ensure your backyard safety expectations.

Review your home liability insurance limits
Even if you follow all these tips, accidents happen. Keep your liability insurance coverage updated (and consider adding an umbrella liability policy). If you add a pool, trampoline or playground to your yard, meet with your insurance agent to see if you need to increase your home liability coverage. Stay safe and have fun this summer!

Winter is gone and spring has sprung, so now is a good time to check your property for any post-winter damage. Read on to find out how you can get your property in shape and avoid costly future damage with our spring home maintenance checklist:

1️⃣ Check your roof
Repair cracked or missing shingles and remove debris buildup, such as leaves and branches. If you have a newer roof or are planning to get a new roof, you may be eligible for a home insurance discount.

2️⃣Clean gutters and downspouts
Clear your gutters and downspouts of leaves and debris to help the spring rain flow freely from off your roof, reducing the chance of damage caused by a backup.

3️⃣ Check for other exterior damage
Repair torn window screens and weather stripping, cover holes and gaps where animals and bugs can get in and check the chimney for damage.

4️⃣ Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors’ batteries
These life-saving devices are a key deterrent for home fires, eliminating or reducing damage to your home.

5️⃣ Get a dehumidifier
If your basement is damp, you may have poor ventilation – a dehumidifier can help dry things up. If you have valuables in your basement, talk to your insurance agent about sump pump backup coverage.

❇️ Bonus tip: Check in with your insurance agent
Make sure you’re protected with proper home insurance before severe spring weather hits.

Completing the items on this home maintenance checklist can keep your property looking good and help you avoid future home insurance claims.
